Renewal Of HOstilities.

There is blood upon the moon at
Miller's Sands. Yesterday Chas.
Woods. according to his story, got
tired of having his horses draw seines
on the now historic Miller's Sands,
for the hated opposition, and having
driven them off, laid down on his
steamboat to slumber. Upon awak-
ing in the. afternoon, being in the
vicinity OF the Sands and about four
hundred yards from shore, he found
on each side of the boat skiff each
holding five men. They fred at him
from both skiffs, and he, catching up
a Winchester rifle, returned the fire.
A man from the bank joined the at
tacking forces and fred a bullet
which grazed Woods right side.
The bullets from the skiffs struck the
boat, but he escaped unharmed.
Eighteen shots were fired, when the
attack closing he came to the city
for a warrant for the arrest of his en-
emies. This was refused and the prob.
abilities now favor a more sanguinary
item from there before long. II
would seem to be cheaper for the
county to buy the sands at once and
have done with it. They could be
rented out then, and made a source
OF revenue instead of being, as at
present, a constant source OF costly
litigation.

With An Arm On Each or Their Shoulders.

1t is hard for a mere man to tell
(says a World correspondent in cold
unfeeling type, of the Kaleidoscope
pictures the bathers at Atlantic City
present. The twinkle of white arms,
puff of clinging blouses, the flash OF
shiny stockings, the drapery OF flow
ing tresses spread out to dry and
falling about girlish shoulders, make
up picture that must be left to the
artist. The favorite stocking is still
black, but colors are coming more
and more into favor, and the indi-
cations point to the entire abolition
Of black silk before long. Nearly all
bathers OF only moderate avoirdupois
wear a combination stocking of black
and white. The ankle of the stocking
and up to the beginning of the calf is
black, while the calf and all the up
per part to the knee is white. A
vision of loveliness, who however,
did not wear the two-colored stock
ings, explained to the dense msscu.
line mind that the black made the
ankle look slender, while white above
correspondingly increased the size OF
the upper part of the leg. She is as
full of bravery, this Atlantic City
girl, as of loveliness. See her wade
out when not in a bathing dress, and
tempt the waves to catch her. And
when one bigger and fiercer than the
others makes sudden leap for her
what a furry of skirts is there, a fit
ting glimpse of a lace embroidered
petticoat and a quick scamper fol
safety. Or she will take one of the
blue chairs along the beach and siI
right out at the edge of the water
when the tide is coming in, and wait
until the water surrounds her, trust
ing to luck or gsllantry to get safely
ashore. As the water rises she lift
her feet first to one rung OF the chair
then to the next, and finally climb:
up to the seat of the chair, clutchins
her skirts In that nervous way womeI
have in the presence of water.
tpretty picture OF despair she makes
looking timidly about with appealing
eyes. A sturdy bather sees her predic
ament, stops his romp long enough t.
call companion, and together the tw,
young men catch the chair by the
legs and lift it and her straight ou
of the water and to the strand, Will
she smiles her half-frightened thanks
with an arm on each Of their should
ers.

by Samuel Peters to a syndicate, for
there were syndicates in those days as
well as In this. The sale was made in
January, 1917, and the syndicate was
composed of Lewis Ayres and ninety
nine Others. 1t is described as a
large tract OF land in the northwestern
territory, containing 100000 acres
and more. 1t comprised the greater
portion of the land sold in 1767 to
Johnathan Carver by the Nandowes-
sizes tribe of Indians. Carver received
100000 acres. The description is as
follows:
Running from the Falls of st. An
thony from the east bank of the Mis-
sissippi nearly east as far as the south
end of Lake Pepin, where the Chippe-
wa river joins the Mississippi; and
from thence eastward five days
travel, accounting twenty English
miles per day; and thence north siz
days travel at twenty English mile:
per day; and from thence again tc
the Falls of ST. Anthony. There is
reserved to the Indians the sole right
| to fish and hunt on the unimprovet
land.
There is a population of 1916, ,497 il
Wisconsin at this date, and the value
of the farm products is S727, ,779, ,496.

but without damage to each othcr's features
Among tho old-timers woro Malcolm Baxter,
who claimed to be tho champion Of tho United
States, and John Dingwall, who had several
shufIlo boards In his place, which was fnyor-

wah was great player himself, good enough
to make hot game even for Baxter. and al
though no has given up playing, he has not
forgotten how. Being asked to describe tho
game Mr.. Dingwall said:
II suppose 1t may be called Scotch sport.
although I never could ascertain its origin.
The earliest mention OF It that 1 ever came
across is in u description Of q journey through
Scotland early in the sixteenth century. The
writer mentions casually that In Edinboro he

after their days work, and he speaks as though
1t were common and familiar game at that
time. Curling is no doubt Scotch in origin.
and shuttle board is curling adapted to sum-
mer. It is played on q smooth board. 80 feet
long and about IS inches wide. Along each
side Of the board is a channel or gutter to
catch the pieces when they slide off the board.
The pieces are iron pound-weights. such as
are used on grocers' scales, made perfectly
smooth on the bottom. The player shoves q

and force enough to make 1t slide to the end.
six inches from the end q line Is drawn
across the board. The object Of the player
is to make his weight cross that line and
stop within the six-inch space. To do this 1t
is very evident that he must gauge tho forco OF
his play with delicate accuracy. When two
persons play, each uses four weights. and they
play alternately. weight that stops short OF
the line counts one point II II is not behind the
opponents pieces. Inside the six-inch space
every piece counts two. One that projects be-

Is called q ship and counts three. Only those
pieces count which remain on the board when
the eight have been played, and twenty-one
points make game.

Tho board upon which the playing Is done
Is planned smooth and perfectly level, but 1t Is
not polished. 1t is covered with fine, dry sand,
and old players are worry particular about the
quality OF that material: 1t must be live and
perfectly dry. Sand that has been used for half
an hour becomes useless The particles lose
their sharpness through the constant attrition,
